Based on the technology diffusion theory and the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework, this research grows a study model to review the determinants of e-business diffusion. The study model examines the influence of technological context (IS infrastructure and IS expertise), organizational context (organizational compatibility and expected benefits of e-business) and environmental context (competitive pressure and trading partner readiness) on e-business diffusion.

E-business diffusion is seen as a two sizes: inner integration and exterior diffusion. Data gathered from 163 IS executives in large Taiwanese firms were employed to test the relationships between the research model constructs using a structural formula modeling (SEM) approach. Among the TOE factors, the results uncover that IS infrastructure, IS knowledge, expected benefits of e-business, and competitive pressure are important factors shaping e-business diffusion. Implications for practice and research are discussed.

Going back to the part of the example where you want to save order data, and let`s say the order has to be updated more often than once, than this helps it be a typical applicant for reuse. In the next example a reusable “Order Storage” reusable sub-process has been created which has this features.

  • Don’t create a CSR ghetto
  • What setting of payment would be better them
  • Studio M
  • Ask for Overtime

It has been made a little bit more complicated by including a notification activity that will notify the sales representative each time an update of the order has occurred. The reusable sub-process has access to the /project/ variables (by value), and its own /process/ variables. Quite simply, the reusable sub-process has usage of the “order” project variable.

A choice has been made to pass on the e-mail address of the one that has been notified, as a disagreement. In the reusable sub-process this email is stored in a (local) “email” process variable. The decision to establish a variable at task versus process level should be produced carefully.

In case of functionality that is carried out in parallel, you need to be careful that the parallel threads do not make conflicting changes to the same task adjustable. Simple type project factors are mapped to guarded attributes (also called mapped features or flex field), which there’s a limited amount (for example 20 protected text attributes).
